ASTRAL MUSE (2016)
Acrylic - 9” x 6”

This piece of mat board was used as a palette while working on the cover for Brandon Sanderson’s WORDS OF RADIANCE. Half of the scrap was turquoise while the rest was reds and oranges. Random brushstrokes suggested the figure that I painted in. 1/2

#leftoversandpalettegremlins #fantasy #illustration

A woman rendered in limited color leaps with one raised knee up, posed against a starscape of cool tones. There is pink skin tone to her lead arm but the rest of her is cast in subtle lavender and blue green. Her arm is positioned vertically, trailing dots of lavender, red, and blue across the top edge of the panel as if in the act of cosmic creation. Gold accents cross her forehead and dangle in a long chain of baubles that include a crescent. A dove spreads its wings in profile facing left at her hip. The hem of her dress ends in an abstract curl of fabric rendered more simplistically than the rest of her. Red orange dominates the lower left, creating a contrast of warm versus cool. The smaller orb of a star shines behind a sliver of crescent moon illuminating just the edge.
